> I was wondering details on bookshare; not a member yet. All those books

> Some questions.
> 1. What Christian resources have you seen? Books? Devotionals?
> 2. How do you search for books? I know you can do this without being a 
> member. The site looked complex when I attempted to use it.
> 3. Is the cost $75? And do you have to prove you’re blind? I already get 
> NLS and learning ally books.
> 4. How do you play/read the books? I guess they have to be unzipped once 
> you download them. I have a vr stream so might use that if I can figure 
> out how to transfer a book.
> 5. Books are written everyday and published. The thing with NLS and 
> learning Ally is by the time they record a book it’s a year late or more. 
> That is why often the editions of books are one behind your print 
> classmates.
> So, does bookshare have recent books? I mean like in the past six months?

> Thanks. I’ve really thought about joining bookshare, but I don’t have the 
> patience to wade through a website and download stuff. I went on the site 
> several times and clicked on books and it kept bringing me to lists of 
> other books or categories. My jaws internet skills are pretty good. I just 
> don’t want to spend hours trying to download a book.
